,:r ontrost !mount., A. J. GEBBITSON, - -_- Editor. TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 1866, FOR GOVERNOR: WESTER CLYMER , OF BERKS COUNTY: Fenian Excitement. The daily papers of Friday and Satur day contain columns of despatches:from numerous points ,along the border in re ference to Fenian movements. They are of an exciting and contradictory charac ter, and not worth an infliction upon our readers. Several battles are expected, and one came off among the Fenians at • Elmira, who, with haversacks, in the rear of the depot, shed some blood, but lost no lives. The old grass-grown "Fort Erie," opposite Buffalo, is reported to have been " taken" by the Fenians. The more we hear of the Fenian busi ness, the more we think it is degenerating into a scheme, on the part of the leaders, to sell bonds, and cheat their followers out of their money. Republican Principles. The "loyal" leaders of Republicanism have recently held two meetings in Bos ton to give utterance to the pent up loy alty that leads and controls the so-called "Uniop" party. The prominent ideas are: Sectional animosity began because the people did not all endorse negro equality. Congress is endorsed, the President de nounced. Congress must say who shall vote, and give the negro not only a vote, but full equality with whites. The only essential element of recon struction is suffrage for the negro, every other matter being unimportant and sec _ ond ary. • Warning is given to those who oppose negro equality, that revolution will be re sorted to to enforce negro citizenship, if it is not soon granted. Governor Bullock, of Mass., ex-Gov. Boutwell, and other Republiean.officials, took part in the meetings. The reader will see something of what men must fin ally endorse who train in that company; for these men are the leaders'ortheir par ty—keeping always a little ahead and whipping up the weak-kneed brethren who hesitate to avow orthodox doctrines until they have been fully adopted by the party. publicans have advanced front " free-soil ers" to abolitionists, thence to negro suf frage and negro equality advocates. From 11w Chicago Timis. The Chicago Republican does us the justice to publish exactly what we did say in reference to Probst, the murderer of the Deering family. We in turn will do the Republican the justice to publish 'ex actly what it said about Grant and Probst, under the beading " Grant as a Thief and a Murderer." Hero are its exact words: " Probst wanted the $3OO and the boots; Grant wanted Richmond; the Deering 'family stood in the way of the money, and the rebel army in the way of Richmond. Probst murdered all the per sons who could prevent his theft; Grant did the same. Probst did no more than Grant, but, as to the atrocity of his act, was fully egaal to bin]; Grant's motive was as criminal as that of Probst, and to accomplish his purpose he murdered more people," die. * * * * * "To the extent that Grant is a thief and a murderer, whose deeds can be classed only in the same grade with the atrocious slaughter of the Deering family, so also must be classed the acts of Sher man, Sheridan, Thomas, and their associ ates, rank and file." —The first quoted paragraph is the one copied into the Montrose Republican three weeks ago, credited to the Times, and ac companied by a venemous editorial, charging the Democratic party with class ing Probst and Grant together. The ed itor of the Times wrote to us saying that the Montrose Republican said what was " entirely false," when it charged the comparison to the Times, as it originated with the Chicago Republican. Obsequies of General Scott. " NEW Yonx, June I.

This significant feature is traceable in 411 the departments, accord ing to their standing towards the Presi dent. • Z;l l— Perhaps the editor of the Mont rose .Republican does not know the differ ence between the " yankee" as referred to in political articles, and the people born at the North, or in New England. If he is too stupid to see, or too unfair to admit the distinction, an explanation would be wasted on him. Our readers, know the difference be tween some New Englanders and the pu ritan or yankee politician. The love of the Radicals for the soldiers was manifested en Friday by the rejec tion of General McKelvy, the newly ap pointed Marshal for Pittsburg district. Gen. McK. has been a lifelong Whig. He has served during the whole war. His name is without a stain. ' And yet he was rejected by a strict radical vote.— "•The boys in blue" should be saved- from their "friends." —The official returns, says an exchange, show that the government received only 89,138 from the watch tax. In "loyal" Massachusetts, only thirty-eight watches Were'returned, which paid a tax ogforty seven dollars. ruult. -- ara v, rawerson,. N. J. are foaming over at the appointment of Gen. Ezra A.

They remained in that Condition until relieved by the neighbors next morning. —United States Treasurer Spinner says, in'alettet: "The notes of' a National bank that has failed are rather better than those of a bank in good standing." This being true, wouldn't it - be a good thing for the whole two thousand to fail imme diately ?, —Let it be noted that all the acts of the President most' loudly complained of by the politicians, are in the direction of leaving power in the bands of the peopje, where it rightfully belongs. The Presi dent says b you must trust the people;" the Radicals say you must not. —The company which owns the Chica go Republican have concluded to dis pense with the services of Mr. Charles A. Dana as its editor. They have found that under his management the paper was neither profitable nor influential. nbcb now ---Eratus M.
